Research Paper On Cheetahs
Cheetahs have several special adaptations that allow them to reach top speeds. Wide nostrils and large lungs combined with a powerful heart and strong arteries provide more oxygen to their muscles. Their huge leg muscles mainly consist of fast twitch fibers, which contract faster than normal muscles. Their small body frame is lightweight and aerodynamic. With long legs, loose hip and shoulder joints, and a flexible spine, cheetahs can cover 7 m (20-25 ft.) in one

    Two animals that I chose are Panthera leo spelaea known as European or Eurasian cave lion and cave bear. European cave lion lived from about 370,000 to 10,000 years ago. From the paintings and the fossils that have been found we can say that cave lion is much bigger that the normal lions that we know today. Rounded, protruding ears, tufted tail, and perhaps faint, tiger-like stripes are the common thing between all of the lion caves. Mountain lion was living in Europe until the last European Ice Age. Cave lion lived in the same time pried that man was living in the cave because there is a panting of them all over the caves.

    Armadillo Research Paper

    • 442 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Armadillos have one of the highest rates of expansion being 10 times the active rate of a mammal. I think this is because they came from Mexico and the Southern Americas to America and since they do not have much meat on them, they are able to not be hunted. Also Armadillos had this invasion because of the large rivers and hunters in southern America. The armadillos also moved because of the humans invading them in Texas when Humans would start fires in the prairie grass. This then caused the overpopulation of armadillos in Florida due to no more predators, fires and rail road travel where the armadillo would then sneak onto the train and sneak off in Florida. These armadillo were also brought into Floridian zoos as pets and they would escape that. Also a cool interesting fact is that armadillos can live 20 years or even longer (sucks for the ones on the side of the road). So if armadillos can live up to 20 years or even longer they give birth to 4 babies at a time and they have the ability to delay implantation of fertilized eggs for…
